Description
Dogs Barking. This house consists of more than three dogs that are constantly barking. I have already asked the owners to handle the dogs, but they disregard my request. I have been dealing with this for a year in a half. They also have their dogs poop in the front yard that causes a fly ( bugs) pest problem in my front door. Please, send them another warning because the first one wasn't enough.

You have to go through animal services and make another complaint or follow up on the previous one. Seeclickfix can't do anything and will refer you there. 510.535.5602
I'm sure you know this, but:
We will send a letter from the Police Department to the owner of the dog to explain the law and advise them that they must take steps to remediate the problem. If the problem continues, we can send an animal control officer to the address. However, the officer must hear the dog barking continuously for 10 minutes or more to take action. If this is not possible, then you and one of your neighbors that is an occupant of a separate housing or commercial unit may certify that you have both experienced such period of noise, and then the officer can issue a citation.
Sounds like it's now time for an officer to come out and listen to the barking.
